Tomorrow is Easter. This is the day we Christians celebrate the one thing we all can agree on -- our Lord is risen! Praise God the Father -- the tomb is empty!

Imagine the joy the disciples must have felt when they heard the news. They had just witnessed their beloved Lord taken from them, tortured and crucified. And what did they do? They scattered like a flock of frightened birds. Now, instead of a great defeat, they find themselves witnessing a great victory. He is risen! Wow! What a Lord and Savior!

Today's disciples of Jesus face the same uncertainty as did the first. We realize we may be in the end-times our Savior warned about -- told us to be prepared for. And, as the early disciples, we aren't sure exactly how things are going to happen. 

Jesus understood His disciples uncertainty so, just before His crucifixion, He said something to comfort them. And, I think these words were meant to comfort us, His end-times disciples, too. The Apostle John records Jesus saying:

Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going. Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me (John 14:1-6 New American Standard Bible).

You see, unless Jesus returns first, we all will be going to our own tombs. The question is, will the stone of death be rolled away for us -- will we rise to be with Him? 

Jesus is still our way my friends.

Let's follow Him.
